Welcome to RMIP 2008


Hi. Today it's been three weeks since the school year started and two weeks since myself and two other 5th years (jenny and lisa) moved into 'The Palace', Balclutha.

We are 2min walk from the hospital/BalcluthaGP clinic. Half an hour drive from Milton GP clinic, and about an hour from Lawrence (especially when you keep stopping to take photos like I do.)

We're based over these three places to cover all the normal stuff 5th year med students study: Paediatrics (kids) Obsterics and Gynacology (women stuff) Emergency Medicine, General Practice, Public Health, Orthopedics (fractures) ENT and Opthamology, plus all the stuff we covered in the 4th year (hearts and lungs and guts and stuff.) A lot to do in a little place...

RMIP stands for Rural Medical Immersion Programme.

You have a blog. Yay! I look forward to as many Martinesque anecdotes as patient/community confidentiality will allow. And if that's not many, I'll settle for some scenery and sheep.
